[@giovannifazio8546]

this is the best version I ever heard, he touched such high notes that for Granada are often only heard on the piano performance, BEAUTIFUL

[@antoniogarcialyons6635]

Who ever said a Flamenco guitarist cannot make a guitar cry as well as any Classical guitarist? A true virtuoso of both the classical and flamenco worlds.

[@miranda3264]

Well done, Adam! A radio program brought me to search for this beautiful piece of music. Audience should listen to it for at least twice, one with eyes closed and another time with eyes wide open. Both allow audience to immerse into South Spain vibe. Thanks again. ❤😊

[@jiggssingh1]

Best version ive heard so far...beautiful!! Bravo!

[@martinecarpentier6855]

Une technique impeccable. Cet artiste vie ce morceau avec une grande émotion. Cela transperce.

[@harunyilmaz6820]

Best Granada ever. Reflects the soul of the piece just as it is.

[@Iracord]

Adam plays from the depths of his Soul!!!!!!!!!!

[@corv2731]

Absolutely incredibly nuanced, beautiful playing. I simultaneously feel discouraged and incredibly inspired in my own flamenco journey. Beautiful expression, every note was honored in this performance.

[@griggsyk]

Always come back....love it

[@MPSShanahan]

This is a beautiful rarity, an arrangement of Granada in the key of D. It sounds fuller than most standard arrangements of the piece in the key of E. It's great that (the aptly-named!) Gordon Crosskey arranged Granada in D, as you hear here. Being lower on the fretboard, the stretches are harder in this D version, but Del Monte performs it beautifully.

[@nz1229]

Bravo Adam! Your accents and interpretation of this piece would make Albeniz proud! Beautiful.

[@AnnieB007]

First i heard this amazing composition in vicky christina Barcelona. Since then I'm looking for the full composition. This melody transcends me somewhere... to a place where the ocean meets the horizon, to a place where I'm free... I'm absolutely free... Thank you for the wonderful performance. For now, I'm taking refuge under your divine music...

[@danielcropp8553]

Really cool transcription! I really like the full and dark sound of the dropped D string.

[@andrereginato3538]

Its great because too many classical guitarists take too much liberty with the rhythm...BRAVO...good to see the flamenco training has kept Adam from buggering the pulse

[@Scanpian]

So beautiful. What a rendition.

[@DavidMinick53]

Such flawless, fluid playing. Adam is my favorite guitarist of all time.

[@littleapple6063]

Adam, I can tell how much you enjoy this piece. You put so much into it and the result is just beautiful. I played it for my wife and special needs son, and he sat up and took notice - watching every note you played. He is now asking to hear it again and again. Thank you so much for making this nagging old world a pleasant place for five minutes or so. We shed a few tears of joy.

[@adamdelmonteguitarist]

Little Apple Thank you so much for those kind nd heart warming words. I really appreciate your feedback and comments. It means a lot to me when people are moved by my playing because that is what i ultimately strive for..... to move and inspire and share. All best wishes to you and your family.

[@marisa82]

Very nice, this music makes me instantly dream of far, warm and beautiful summer nights in the gardens of south Spain :) Thank you Adam , greetings from Russia

[@KenGLaP]

You make Isaac Albeniz very proud, Adam - Thanks so much!

[@robm321]

Perfect performance. I'm learning this piece now.

[@user-fv1jn1gw5w]

Beautiful!

[@angelmellado9207]

Albeniz, Tárrega y Granados, my three favorite's.

[@olivetree1836]

This is absolutely beautiful.

[@griggsyk]

My most watched you tube vid...memorizing Adam! I spent several holidays in Granada and this totally reminds me of the tranquillity of the place.

[@licaptn]

A truly magnificent arrangement and performance of my favorite guitar composition. Thanks Adam

[@esturionbeluga3711]

Conmovedor..... puesta de escena increíble. Amo esta pieza.

Una obra y ejecucion maravillosa.Recuerdo a mi madre por los años 1945 ejecutandola al piano.... Gracias por exponerla al mundo....

[@arq.c.rasmussen2180]

La versión con más encanto español q he escuchado. Hermosa

[@yusdog21]

wonderful,wonderful,wonderful

[@MateusCavalcanteFonseca]

Outstanding performace, congratulations, wish you the best

[@robertwallace8796]

Very nice job. I am amused at those who say they have never heard of you. I learned of you as soon as I picked up my flamenco guitar and yes, you are a grand master. I am amazed that your excellence in classical work is also so good. Thanks you for posting this. It is a pleasure to see this side of your talent.

[@jorgeuriarte4507]

Magistral, que se puede decir ante eso, sutil, hermoso delicado, apasionado, esto es música Señores, es cierto que hay que respetar los gustos y que cada cual puede decidir lo que le gusta o no, pero darle una votación negativa ante una interpretación así, solo puede ser a causa de un desconocimiento profundamente abismal y una falta de cultura y sensibilidad musical insondable, pero bueno en el mundo hay de todo y esta es la prueba, MAESTRO mis respetos y felicitaciones, yo se que usted no se preocupa de esas nimiedades porque como dice un refrán de mi tierra, El águila no caza moscas porque vuela alto.

[@savirocap]

Si.......Magistral, esa es la palabra

Wonderful, Adam. I keep coming back to this video. Great how the ribbon mic complements your playing.

[@adamdelmonteguitarist]

Thank you Max. I appreciate that. I sure love that Royers mic!

[@yuvalronmusic]

what a sweet and deep sound at the same time!

[@gabriellashimone6546]

¡Qué hermoso! ¡Gracias, Adam!

[@JoseASoto-yb3ud]

I wish to play the guitar JUST to play Albéniz, but more particularly this piece "Granada". It is simply, beautiful. ❤️❤️❤️ I have always wondered how long it would it take me from Z (zero) to A (Albéniz) Thank you Issac Manuel Francisco Albéniz y Pascual.

[@moniquemalaurie9713]

Merveilleux!

[@davidhayes7596]

I wondered about the drop D. Great performance. Thank you Sir !

[@jesusalbertimayoralcarreno6977]

Excelente Adam, soy tu amigo de Oaxaca-México Jesús Mayoral, Saludos.

[@snappydoodad]

Wow that was incredible, thank you so much!

[@dougmacqueen1679]

Absolutely exquisite.

[@j6449663]

Great .Just great .

[@1111958giam]

The best interpretation!

[@christianroux]

Très belle interprétation !!!!!

[@peggysun2099]

曲名：Granada -Suite Espanola Op 47 No.1（1886） 作曲：Isaac Albeniz（1860-1909）是西班牙國民樂派的作曲家，他在1883年遇到Felip Pedrell並跟他學習作曲。Albeniz受到了Pedrell的影響開始寫帶有西班牙民族風格的樂曲。Suite Espanola Op 47（1886）是Albeniz以城市為名而寫的樂曲，原本他預計要寫8首歌曲，但到後來只有完成4首，其中的第一首就是Granada。（Granada是西班牙南部Andalusia最重要的城市）。原來是為鋼琴而寫的樂曲，曲中不難看出是模仿吉他的音樂語言，現今是古典吉他曲目中最重要的作品之一。

[@papagen00]

I first heard this piece in Woody Allen's film "Vicky Cristina Barcelona". Love it!!!

[@peterjordan5122]

Love in the air

[@ErnestoDeAnda]

outstanding work!

[@consuelomedinasalcedo1855]

ME APASIONA ALBENIZ LA GUITARRA Y LOS COMPOSITORES Y MÚSICA ESPAÑOLA Y SUS RAÍCES

[@yusdog21]

Amazing interpretation

[@QUESTANOTTE88]

Beautiful!!

[@doudoupelren376]

Interprétation vraiment remarquable : le toucher si délicat qui souligne le phrasé ainsi que l'accompagnement, le rubato si particulier à la guitare espagnole qui parcours la succession des phrases, donnant une impression de volutes tout autant que son unité au morceau. Bravo pour ce travail d'orfèvre et merci du partage

[@adamdelmonteguitarist]

merci boup, monseur,🙏🎸🪬

[@davidadelaide]

Beautifully played and filmed.

[@rebelrider9510]

El sonido más bonito del mundo.💚🎩💚

[@TheRyandarius]

i like all of your playings sir!

[@joelcamel6738]

Brother de todas las interpretaciones que existen en internet, la tuya es por mucho la que transmite mas sentimiento, quiero pensar que por alguna razon, tienes un vínculo especial con esa cancion, Saludos y extraordinaria ejecución

[@yusdog21]

Great performance.

[@AlanMearns-YesTheRaven]

Beautiful

[@elduke1782]

Maravillosa y asombrosa interpretación de ésta hermosa composición de Albéniz. Excelente!!! Casi todos los guitarristas la tocan en Mi Mayor; alguien me puede decir en que tono está ésta increíble versión?. Desde ya, muchas gracias.-

[@adamdelmonteguitarist]

Gracias! Esta versión está en Re mayor

[@elduke1782]

@@adamdelmonteguitarist Muchas gracias a ti por contestar mi mensaje y muchísimas gracias por brindarnos tu enorme talento y por tu sensibilidad interpretativa. Yo soy uruguayo, y hace muchísimos años estudié guitarra con un gran maestro y guitarrista (también uruguayo, ya fallecido): Raúl Sánchez Arias, quién fuera junto al reconocido Abel Carlevaro uno de los alumnos predilectos del legendario Andrés Segovia cuando éste vivió en Uruguay durante 7 u 8 años. Sánchez Arias es muy poco conocido porque no le gustaba dar conciertos; le gustaba enseñar y tocar en reuniones de amigos y quedan algunas grabaciones "caseras" hechas con los viejos grabadores de cinta; entre ellas, un arreglo (creo que muy lindo) que el realizó de Granada, en La Mayor, (creo que el original para piano está en ese tono). Ese arreglo está acá en KZbin (Sánchez Arias Granada Albéniz): Te pido disculpas por la extensión de éste mensaje y hacer abuso de tu valioso tiempo. Es que es tan sublime tu interpretación que me emociona y me dan ganas de tomar la guitarra, cosa que no puedo desde hace mucho tiempo ya que padezco de la enfermedad de Parkinson. Nuevamente mis disculpas y un gran abrazo. Ramón García

[@osos632]

You R The Best !!!!!!!

[@glennwilliams8861]

Consider Granada one of my favorite pieces and Adam Del Monte documents my feeling.

[@KoalaYum]

Glenn Williams The song is originally performed and written by Isaac Albéniz, but I agree it its so beautiful and brings me right back to that beautiful city!

awesome

[@jorgeuriarte4507]

he visto este vídeo varias veces y al final termino con la misma cara de asombro, este hombre ha llegado al NIRVANA ha alcanzado un grado superior es un elegido un iluminado, es algo increíble musicalmente hablando, voy a poner un reggaeton para regresar a la tierra, el que toca la guitarra al menos decentemente o al menos es capaz de comprender la música sabe perfectamente de lo que estoy hablando, esto es arte en estado puro, sencillamente no se puede tocar ni interpretar mejor una pieza, esto es la perfección

[@adamdelmonteguitarist]

Much as gracias, Jorge. Muy amable y sincero tu comentario.

[@adamdelmonteguitarist]

The transcription for this piece can be purchased by Guitar Solo Publications. It was made by my teacher in Manchester, England , Gordon Crosskey.

[@Carlos.Troncoso]

That transcription it would be with the same arr. that you offer us here?

[@Carlos.Troncoso]

thanks i lov so much this peace thanks to your interpretation

[@JorgeSilva-oi7jj]

COMPREI UM ALBUM DE A. SEGOVIA GSP-93 COM ARRANJO DE GRANADA: ELE ESCREVEU UMA COISA E TOCA OUTRA. QUE RIDÍCULO!!!

[@adamdelmonteguitarist]

@@Carlos.Troncoso yes, about 98%. I did a tiny things a bit different but mostly yes.

[@Guitarmfig]

Very cool

[@dmbassa]

I score this as sheer perfection. But I think we would need beyond YT commentary to proclaim the quality of this LOL! :D In any regard, I have not hear or seen a YT video that was more perfect than this. The timing, the sound, the melody... could not find a single flaw.

[@corvusmonedulas4895]

judgemental proclamations of greatness and flaw-spotting are not needed; the music is here to enjoy not to scrutinise

[@raulcalderonbird]

Genial.
